Chu Qing finally got his salary, 2,000 yuan.

This is also the most money he has earned in one go in his two lives.

Jia Zhangke and his party packed their luggage and prepared to return to the capital. Chu Qing did not plan to join them, he wanted to go back to the Northeast.

Maybe his initial idea was to return to the capital, but after filming "Xiao Wu", some changes were made.

He has always felt insecurity since his rebirth. He used to be unclear about the reason, but now he suddenly realizes that this insecurity comes from his rootless nature.

A very pretentious word.

Chu Qing once called the family in later generations, but it was answered by a stranger. He hung up and tears immediately fell down like beads.

This phone number has never changed until I was reborn.

My parents, and grandpa, are afraid they will never see you again...

The family I had lost in my previous life and I still had it in this life, so he had to go back to the Northeast, even if he did nothing, just take a look.

Before leaving, Jia Zhangke took Wang Hongwei and Gu Zheng to his room, got himself drunk, and was carried back.

Yu Liwei gave him a backpack, the most popular style in Hong Kong, replaced his broken snakeskin bag.

The next morning, Chu Qing boarded the train to the Northeast alone.

He took the train for two days, then transferred to the bus, then the ox cart, and finally walked to a mountain village.

Perhaps the original owner didn't want to think of it. He didn't have too many pictures of his hometown in his mind, but when he walked on the wet and narrow path, he watched the road extending crookedly to the hillside ahead, his vision was 30 degrees up, and there were extremely irregular houses scattered on both sides, like grains sprinkled on the ground casually.

The memory suddenly became clear.

Chu Qing followed his memory to the old house, breathing in the extremely fresh air, and his heart was mixed.

There are only a dozen families in the small village. At this time, most of them are in the fields. After walking for a while, someone comes to me.

Perhaps it was rare for him to carry a backpack, so the man couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Suddenly hesitated, "Xiao Qingzi?"

Chu Qing also looked at him. He was not old, but his hair was half white. He thought of someone in his mind and said, "Brother Liang?"

"Hey, Xiao Qingzi is really you! You are back!"

The man became excited. He and Chu Qing were neighbors and were friends who were playing with each other barely.

"Yes, I'm back. I haven't seen you for several years. How are you?" Chu Qing couldn't integrate the feelings of seeing his childhood playmates, so he could only say politely.

"What else can you do? Farm. By the way, I'm married, you kid didn't even accept the gift!" Brother Liang said.

"Make up!" Chu Qing laughed and said, "How is my second uncle? Is that good, right?"

Speaking of his only remaining relative in the world, Brother Liang's expression suddenly became strange and said, "Ah! It's great, I have to go to the fields and leave first!"

Then he hurried down the slope along the path.

Chu Qing looked at him suspiciously, and without thinking much, he walked for another time and came to the old house.

"Um?"

He looked at the three big houses with bright windows in front of him and was dazed. Is this his own home? Where did the dilapidated adobe house in the past go?

Knocking at the door tentatively.

"Who?"

A young woman with messy hair opened the door, wearing a plaid pajama that was out of place with this mountain village, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is this the Chu family?"

"This person with no surname Chu, I've found the wrong one!"

The woman said "bang" and closed the door, and the sound of rushing and rushing footsteps became lighter and lighter.

Chu Qing couldn't figure out the situation and did not move rashly. After a while, he decided to ask Uncle Er first.

He came to his second uncle's house again. This was his father's only younger brother. He had a wife and children, and his life was quite decent. When Chu Qing was about to go to the capital, he asked him to take care of the old house.

"Second uncle! Second uncle!"

Chu Qing started shouting when he entered the courtyard.

A girl ran out and saw that it was a stranger. She was a little scared and shouted "Mom! Mom!" and ran in again.

After a while, a woman came out and saw that it was Chu Qing, her face suddenly froze. Then she smiled as if she was pushing out hard, and said, "Ah! Qingzi is back! Why didn't you say it in advance! She was so busy that she came to sit in the house."

Chu Qing called "Second Aunt" and, without hesitation, followed him into the house.

The big house was very bright, and compared to when he was there, there were many items. A large red painted wardrobe stood beside the kang, and even a color TV was available.

The woman brewed a bowl of candy water for him and said with a smile: "Qingzi, you have been away for four or five years. Oh, your second uncle is thinking about you. Just mutter, how are you going there? You're doing well."

"It's okay, okay, where is the second uncle?" Chu Qing had never been familiar with her and didn't want to talk much.

"He went downstairs, Nizi, go and call your father back and say Qingzi is back!"

The little girl responded and ran out happily.

The woman sat with her on the edge of the kang, and the two were silent for a moment.

Soon, I heard footsteps in the yard, and when the curtains were raised, a middle-aged man came in.

"Qingzi, you want to die of Second Uncle! You still know how to come back!"

As soon as the man entered the door, he seemed to be throwing Chu Qing down, and he wished he could touch him from head to toe and look at a few parts.

"Uncle Second, am I back now? How have you been in the past few years?" Chu Qing said with a smile.

"That's the case, what else can it be done?" said the man.

"You are humble, you are obviously rich, you even have color TV!" Chu Qing quipped.

The man didn't get natural when he heard this, and laughed dryly, "It's okay, okay!" He also instructed his wife: "Go and stir-fry two more dishes, and Qingzi will eat here tonight!"

"Oh, you're so tall. When I sent you to the train station, you were still half a boy!" The man sighed.

Chu Qing also smiled and said, "Uncle, you are much older!"

The man laughed, pulled the little girl over and said, "This is your girl, she is a little older, and the girl calls her eldest brother."

The girl screamed timidly: "Brother."

Chu Qing took out a few candies from her bag and handed them to her, and the girl ran out happily.

His second uncle got married late and was worried about having children. His wife's stomach didn't move after more than ten years of marriage. Unexpectedly, she was almost forty and gave birth to a daughter.

"The second year you left, she was there! You didn't catch up." The man smiled, "Your second aunt was not happy to be a girl, and she wanted to have a son. I said, "Your way, you'll lose your life for ten years, and you may not be able to have a son until you die. Besides, the country has long had policies, and it's the same for having boys and girls. If we don't favor boys over girls, whatever we have, it's all!"

The two chatted, and the woman was quick to deal with, and soon she served a table of food.

There is only one fried meat dish, and the rest are all cabbage and tofu, but the ingredients are naturally clean and have a scent of slight earthy smell.

Chu Qing had never eaten such home-cooked meals in his life, and was so hungry that he ate two big bowls of dry rice in one go before he could calm down.

"It's good for young boys. I can't do it now and I can't eat anymore." After a bowl of rice, the man smiled with a cigarette pole in his mouth.

"You have to make it delicious, Aunt Er has to cook it." Chu Qing said.

Only then did he ask the matter, "Uncle, what's going on with our house?"

The man put down the cigarette pole and said, "Uh...that's the case. Last year, the village chief and his kid got married and had no land to build a new house, so he fell in love with your house. He told me that if he didn't want it for nothing, he would give it money, but he would give it..."

Just as he was about to say the number, his wife kicked him under the table.

"Uh... I gave two thousand yuan. When I heard that, I was very sincere and used as a new house. We can't be a bad person or a good thing, so I decided to transfer your homestead to the village chief."

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, the two thousand yuan uncle didn't move, and he kept it for you. Who would go and take Qingzi's money!"

The woman gave him a blank look, opened the wardrobe, took out a cloth bag from the bottom, opened it layer by layer, and a small stack of brand new RMB inside.

Chu Qing looked at the stack of money and didn't know what it felt.

He is not stupid. If there is no trick in this, he will not believe it if he beat him to death.

In the past four years of traveling to the capital, I have experienced more things than in this mountain village for more than ten years, not to mention the experience and experience of the previous life.

Chu Qing felt that he had already seen the cold and cold relationships of the world. But it really happened to him, and he found that he was still feeling uncomfortable.

He didn't want to know how many benefits his second uncle gave secrets. He saw that he still had a conscience and left him two thousand yuan, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Chu Qing didn't say anything for a while, and his uncle and aunt didn't move. They both pretended to be calm and looked left and right, but their eyes did not leave him.

I don’t know how long it took, Chu Qing rubbed his face and smiled and said, “This is a good thing. Anyway, I have been outside and I can’t come back often in the future. That house is idle, it’s great, thank you uncle.”

He picked up the two thousand dollars again, and without ordering it, he stuffed it directly into his backpack and said, "Uncle, after you said this, I remembered something again."

"Ah? Oh, what did you think?"

Before the man could react from Chu Qing's indifference, he hurriedly said.

"My uncle has helped plant the two acres of land in our family in recent years. I don't care about it outside, so I just want to transfer it to your family."

"Qingzi, that's what your father keeps you. We farmers have nothing to lose. You can think about it..."

The man was anxious, but before he finished speaking, his wife stole the conversation.
